Order in the court. Here comes the judge
After an unprecedented attack by President Obama on the U.S. Supreme
Court, a federal judge asked the Justice Department to give a written
explanation of its opinion of what the president was conveying to the
justices as they decide the fate of ObamaCare. It appears that the
judicial system is defending itself as a co-equal branch of the United
States government.
This is absolutely appropriate since the president seems to feel that
unelected judges have no right to interfere with the legislative and
executive process. At least when they are his executive and legislative
processes. This is but one of the many radical changes that the
president wants to bring about to our nation. He basically wants the
judicial system to be a rubber stamp for his ideological agenda. It will
certainly be educational as well as fascinating to see who wins this
mammoth struggle, and the implications will be significant for the
future identity of our nation.
{mosads}It seems that President Obama has forgotten that our system of government consists of three co-equal branches. The executive and legislative branch must be checked by the judicial branch in order to prevent the establishment of tyranny. He should return to his constitutional law duties, since he has apparently forgotten how our system works. The Founders of our nation were very cognizant of the fact that there is a natural tendency to consolidate power and take control. Hence they established a system of checks and balances. We should all be very thankful that such a system exists today. The Supreme Court justices hopefully will not be intimidated for fulfilling their constitutional duties.
